122.75 is what percent of 896 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 896 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 896, so we can write it down as 100%=896.
4. We know, that x% equals 122.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=122.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=896
2) x%=122.75
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=896/122.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 122.75 is what percent of 896

100%/x%=896/122.75
(100/x)*x=(896/122.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.2993890020367*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.2993890020367) to get x
100/7.2993890020367=x
13.699776785714=x
x=13.699776785714

now we have:
122.75 is 13.699776785714% of 896
